Softcover. Condition: VG+. Black illustrated thick card covers.; 384 pp.; Profusely illustrated with color and bw plates and figures. Published in conjunction with an exhibition that appeared at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and the Musee et Domaine National Chateau de Versailles.French artist Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1826) has long been recognized as the greatest European portrait sculptor of the late eighteenth century, flourishing during both the American and French Revolutions as well as during the Directoire and Empire in France. Whether sculpting a head of state, an intellectual, or a young child, Houdon had an uncanny ability to capture the essence of his subject with a characteristic pose or expression. This lavish exhibition catalogue will immediately take its rightful place as the definitive work on Houdon. With more than one hundred color plates and two hundred black and white halftones, Jean-Antoine Houdon: Sculptor of the Enlightenment illustrates every stage of the sculptor's fascinating career, from his early portrayals of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to his stunning portraits of American patriots such as George Washington, the Marquis de Lafayette, John Paul Jones, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson. Accompanying the images of Houdon's masterworks are four insightful essays that discuss Houdon's views on art (based in part on a newly discovered manuscript written by the artist) as well as his prominence in the highly varied cultures of eighteenth-century France, Germany, and Russia. Contents as follows: Directors' Foreword / Earl A. Powell III, Deborah Gribbon and Pierre Arizzoli-Clementel -- Lenders to the Exhibition -- Preface and Acknowledgments / Anne L. Poulet -- Houdon, "Above All Modern Artists" / Guilhem Scherf -- Etat des Choses: A Recently Discovered Document by Houdon / Anne L. Poulet, Ulrike D.

Dozens of full-color, often full-page, illustrations of paintings by artists such as Delacroix, Millet, Pissaro, Cezanne, and Van Gogh--each with its own explication--are preceded by an essay by Alexandra R. Murphy on Boston art collectors in the 19th century, and how the Museum of Fine Arts managed to accumulate such riches.
